The British Institute of Human Rights is holding a learning event on June 23rd about human rights and mental health. The event is part of a project run by BIHR and partners which looks at how human rights can help ensure people using mental health/mental capacity services are treated with dignity and respect. The project is called ‘Care and Support: A Human Rights Approach to Advocacy’ (funded by the Department of Health).
This learning event will look at:
- An introduction to human rights: values and context
- An introduction to the Human Rights Act
- Mental health and human rights: examples of good practice
- Using human rights in practice
The event is free to attend but places are limited and only open to those working on mental health or mental capacity for a third sector organisation.
